This is a well-made Bible……a CAMBRIDGE card was inserted in the Bible…….opens flat and stays flat….was somewhat stiff out of the box……..The binding is beautiful, but VERY, VERY, HARD and inflexible!!!…….I prefer a more flexible binding but this package is growing on me!!….two ribbons…..the print is very easy to read (the dark ink is great!!)….the fit and finish are excellent!……..this Bible will last forever! More about the binding: labeled as calfskin but looks like something more exotic like maybe Lizard, or Elephant, etc……BEAUTIFUL!!!!!…..but very hard and inflexible!!……I\’ll have to give this bible five-stars because of the price!!!…….A BARGAIN!!!

Absolutely beautiful! Top quality binding and text. I love this Bible. Printed and bound in The United Kingdom-not China. Worth every penny. Thank you for this beautiful product.

I received the large print TBS family bible (black calfskin leather) earlier today. My first impression out of the box was that the calfskin leather is incredibly firm – perhaps too firm for my typical liking actually. Make no mistake about it, this is by far the hardest leather cover you will ever find on a bible, though I do have a leather Old Scofield Study bible that comes close. In one sense this may be a plus since it will probably make the bible stand up to general wear and tear to the cover. On the downside, unless it breaks in nicely it may not become the \”hold in one hand while following a sermon at church\” kind of bible due to the lack of flexibility and conformity, but time will tell. The gild is quite attractive with gold over red. The quality of the paper is above average and the best feature in my opinion is the readability of the print. Yes, this is the large print version; however, the dark richness of the black ink is very impressive. This bible was printed by Cambridge University Press for TBS, which pretty much says it all. Perhaps over time this bible will earn a place among my favorite bibles and garner a 5 star ranking, but for now I have to give it 4 stars due to the rock hard cover, which may take some getting used to. This bible is priced at about the right cost ($78.80) for what you get in return; however, if looking for a KJV bible for under $80 you are better off purchasing from Local Church Bible Publishers (LCBP).

I have been looking for a Bible like this for a while. A nice large print text-only Bible. This is not one of those clumsy newer style fonts but a super easy to read font style in a good size (10 point). The binding is nice quality leather. No long intro, no cross references, no maps, no concordance or dictionary. I just love it. I have quality concordances, Bible dictionaries and atlases, when I want them. I dont need to add ½ inch to the thickness to a Bible for something I dont use. When I read the Scriptures that is all I want, Gods Holy Word. This is just a beautiful easy read Bible. Perfect size for reading Gods Holy Word for hours. The only thing I would change about this is to have a red letter edition. Other than that this is a great Bible. As with all my purchases from EvangelicalBible.com they are great with communication and fast shipping. This is a great price for a great Bible.

The cover is so slippery and stiff it feels and looks like “Bonded” leather. Feels cheap with the cardboard backing of the cover. The print, text, and paper are very good. However the cheap leather is so disappointing.
